Description
Overview:
This Needle Cage Bearing 15x18x17 is a genuine Stihl OEM part designed for high-speed rotating assemblies in compact power equipment such as the BT 360 earth auger and 08S. Built with a caged needle roller design in hardened steel, it carries high radial loads while keeping friction and heat low. Its precise dimensions-15 mm internal diameter, 18 mm outer diameter, and 17 mm width-ensure correct seating on the shaft and in the housing for reliable alignment. Use it during routine maintenance or rebuilds to restore smooth running and protect mating components from premature wear. Suitable for construction and garden machinery that specifies this size, it offers a straightforward, like-for-like replacement that maintains original performance and durability.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl OEM bearing for compatibility and correct specification
- Exact dimensions: 15 × 18 × 17 mm for direct replacement without modification
- Caged needle roller design for strong radial load capacity and smooth rotation
- Hardened steel construction for long service life in demanding conditions
- Helps reduce friction, wear, and operating temperature at high RPM
- Stable cage keeps needles evenly spaced to minimise vibration
- Compact form factor suits tight housings and small shaft journals
- Suitable for routine servicing, repairs, and full overhauls
Typical Applications:
Used in rotating interfaces such as clutch drums, gear trains, crank assemblies, and drive ends on heavy-duty Stihl equipment. Common on earth augers and older saws where a 15x18x17 mm needle bearing is specified. Ideal when play, noise, heat, or rough running indicate bearing wear.
